Things that vex at the laundromat, not laundry-related

Dear Boston-Globe-writing person,

First off, okay, fine, "Dukin' doughnuts" was mildly clever. But for the sub-headline, you blew it.

You might have said (although it still would have been lame), "Krispy Kreme heats up a doughnut war." Or, possibly, something about a "glaze of glory." Other possibilities include lines involving "Boston Kreme" or "making dough" or perhaps even a mediocre play on "whole"/"hole."

Instead, this is what you said:

"Setting off a war of glazed proportions, Krispy Kreme enters Dunkin' territory."

WTF?! "Glazed proportions" isn't even a pun! It's just stupid!

I'll see your pun... and raise you a cruler.

what about the Dunkin' Donuts in a bad part of downtown New Haven that we dubbed "Methadonut"?

Well, given the cops-and-donuts stereotype, it must be a bastion of safety.
